would this not also have reft/reave as a "see also" given that they seem to point back this way ? I'm not so familiar with wiktionary so I'm not feeling bold enough to make that change myself. EdwardLane (talk) 16:10, 12 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

rived vs riven[edit]

Google ngrams says riven has been more frequent than rived for the last 200 years: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=rived%2Criven&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 Presently, it says that riven is almost ten times more common. What is the reason for listing rived as the main form and riven as an altarnative? --2603:8000:8900:6E00:368D:46ED:E318:93B6 12:57, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
